Initial analysis

This three-story multi-family residential building located at 148-152 29th Street in Noe Valley was built in 1908 and contains 5 units, currently owned by the Doherty Survivors Trust/tru. The property has undergone several significant renovation projects in recent years, with the most recent work occurring in January 2021, including a bathroom remodel, electrical panel upgrade, and associated plumbing work, though some of these permits have since expired. In June 2016, a more substantial renovation was completed that included remodeling two bathrooms and one kitchen, upgrading plumbing and electrical systems, installing high-efficiency lighting, and addressing dry rot issues on the building's west side, including replacement of approximately 100 square feet of siding.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to both safety and modernization, with the 2016 renovation including installation of smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, among other improvements. Of note, the property had a series of violations in January 2011 related to fire safety and garbage management, including requirements for fire extinguishers and proper garbage receptacle placement, though all these violations were abated by March 1, 2011. The building underwent routine housing inspections in 1999, 2007, and 2011, with no ongoing violations. Recent 311 calls in the vicinity have primarily concerned street cleaning issues, including reports of human or animal waste, with the most recent call in July 2023, though these external matters do not directly reflect on the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 148-152 29Th St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1109 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Property class

The assessor's property-class code, which correlates with building type and the violation rates the model expects. This code is grouped with other less-common classes.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 37.9%
Moderate concern 35.8%
Severe concern 26.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
